Family Sentiments

I loved all the stuff you knitted for us like the hats, backpacks and beanies. It was really thoughtful and just know that you're gonna be in my thoughts all the way. - Micky

The mortal world lost greatly; but Heaven has received a wonderful tenant. Love always and forever, Joey and Jen

The love that bursts from your seams isn't fathomable, I'm gonna miss the days when I could get smooches from the mean grandma, or the little stubborn remarks towards the son that won't budge. Or when I could receive a bag filled to the brim with quarters from every corner of this land. I love you dearly, and I hope you can give smooches to the people you love up where the sun never sets. I just hope. I love you Gma. Always, Noah

I don't know how to put this into words. She's gone. My dear sweet, beautiful, loving grandmother. She fought hard, but ultimately the cancer won. I just hope and pray that she knows how much we love her and will always miss her. We lost a big piece of our lives. I love you so much Grandma! - Alicia

Mama, you were a woman of faith and you taught us to trust in the Lord. You were the glue that held this family together and now we have become that glue. We already miss your smile and your laughter as well as your spunkiness. You lead us through some tough times and never lost your way. You have received your well deserved angel wings and I pray that I can be half of the person that you were. Chuck will miss your sparring sessions along with the big hugs that you gave. Please lead, guide and direct us from Heaven and keep us straight. We love and miss you greatly, Glenda and Chuck

She was an absolutely beautiful and amazing woman that I'm very blessed to have known. The times we spent together, I'll always treasure. - Lisa

Mom -Melissa and I will miss you so very much. You are forever in our hearts. Dinner and a movie will never be the same without you. - Bruce and Melissa

As children we had many wonderful days just hanging out together, as we got older, we kind of went our separate ways but the love of a brother and sister never ends. I will miss you so very much. Love forever, David

I will always remember our outings or "Girl's Day" as you would always call them. We usually went to Applebee's because we loved their mozzarella sticks. I will never forget that one Christmas night when you were taking me and Alicia to Daddy's house. I forgot to tell you until the last second that they put in speed bumps. It was too late! We were in the air Dukes of Hazzard style! We laughed from the time we landed, all the way to Daddy's house. I will always remember our long talks and the wisdom you shared. When you taught me how to sew and crochet. I am going to miss you immensely, but I will continue to go on because that is what you would want. I will always remember your laugh and smile. I'll love you always and forever, super lots and bunches! Love, Amanda

You will be forever missed, but the memories we have of you will be cherished and regarded as some of the best times. Love and miss you, Matt

Gma, you are a very special lady that will always be in our hearts. Your spunkiness will be sorely missed. Love, PJ, Erica and Baby Ben
